Residents were displaced and relocated to the Mentor Senior Center as the entire site was turned into a crime scene, Fox 8 reported.
One witness told Fox 8 they heard one shot, then multiple consecutively.
“It’s crazy what people can do. You never know when something will happen,” resident Scott Scufka told Fox 8.
The City of Mentor will hold a press conference on Friday to further explain what occurred and who the victims are.
